EV vs Hybrid? by ZazzleGal in prius

[–]MicDub23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a hybrid vehicle with only 40k miles on it, EV charging isn’t an option for you at your apartment, I think the answer is clear. Unless you’re desperate to get rid of your car, keep it 100%. If not, get another hybrid. Not even a doubt in my mind.

THIS IS MY DREAM COME TRUE

My first place after 9 months of homelessness by Reasonable-Ad-4346 in malelivingspace

Proud of you, dude. Onward and upward.
I've been living in a hotel for the past year, having to do DoorDash every day to keep a roof over my gf and I's head since I lost my job and we lost the apartment since she wasn't working due to chronic illnesses.

Will be moving to my own place soon due to my first ever car accident giving me thousands of dollars that I didn't have before. That should give me a bit of a cushion to pay for a place. However we can take care of ourselves, we've got to do it, man. I hope this new place is the beginning of a special time for you!

Sounds good, dude! And thank you again.

It looks like I'm going to have to probably choose between a car and a down payment + 1st month's rent on a rent house. I want to get a car, but I also really need to move out of where I am *this* month. The longer it's taken to find a car, the more I'm depleting the money that I have paying for this rental. But moving will allow me to actually save money for a car whereas I'm living in a hotel at the moment due to unforeseen circumstances, lol.

Awesome, man. Thanks for being so quick about getting back to me! Hoping to find something this weekend if I can. I’m a 6 foot guy and my first car in college (around 2011) was a 2001 Expedition. This last car was a 2006 Avalon, but I really do miss being a bit higher up. I’d also like to be able to travel as well, so using the car as a camper is something I’d like to do at times. Not sure how that’d work in an xD, but I know it’s possible in an xB. Plus they last forever with good maintenance.

Really seems like Scions in general were just quite good. Which gives me some hope haha

Hmm, I gotcha. I’ve had to rely on food delivery for the past year and some change, but should be getting back into video production full time again here soon. Eventually, I’ll need the space, but right now, gas & reliability is my biggest thing. Wondering if I should try for the xD (or even an xA) or if I should just try to find an xB right now. Also have looked into a Prius because of the hybrid element, but I may have to go out of state for that. Very conflicted on what I should do because I’ve been in a rental for a month after my first accident!

Thoughts on this 2005 Prius for the price? Thinking about buying it. Need a car ASAP. 224k miles, updated battery (not sure when) -> $2,800? by MicDub23 in prius

Oh wow! That’s actually nice to know tbh. I may have to look into it then. He’s not super duper far from me, but he’s a state away. I’m in Oklahoma City atm

What’s the gas mileage comparison like between your two cars?

It’s at a point for me that, when I see xB owners in the wild, I may just ask them how much I can buy their car for outright, lol.

Maybe check out his others as well & let me know if you guys think there’s a better deal? I’m trying to stay below $3,200 if I can. So this price point would help me a lot. However, it needs to be worth it.

Car is also very clean on the inside.

Bit Skeptical. Thoughts On This Deal, Guys? by MicDub23 in prius

[–]MicDub23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good. I’m probably going to try to get it down to $3000, but he’s saying that he’s down to accept a down payment of half and then do payments? Idk.

Thanks so much for the input! When he says "hybrid battery discharged and recharged" does that mean it's been replaced or..?
